Sorry, Sabres, this is still a football town

‘Buffalo is a football town before it’s a hockey town, always has been, always will be so long as the Bills are around, and may even if they’re not. We’re not an exemplary football town on a par with the likes of Green Bay, Denver and Dallas. But we’re a football town the same way Boston is first and foremost a baseball town. New England’s primary passion is the Red Sox no matter what the Patriots, Celtics or Bruins achieve.’
